Bath resealing in Strines

Bath resealing in Strines without replacing anything

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. If you are dealing with mould you can’t clean out and silicone smeared on tiles, we can help, on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What affects the price in Strines

Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Strines. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Details of any past repairs

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

When to call us in Strines

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Damp near the bath
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • An untidy old seal

Questions to ask before you book

  • Aftercare advice
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Common questions in Strines

Do you cover the whole of Stockport?

All of Stockport, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Usually after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • A flexing bath

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Wet rooms
  • Baths

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a couple of hours, tidy-up included.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price
